war has just concluded a series of experi- ments of new explosive compound which bids fair to outdo the qualities of melinite, roburite, and all other explosives whatever in it's application to all the present uses of gunpowder. This new and murderous con- position is destined, say many persons, to revoiutionize the existing system of ammu- hilton. The new explosive is the discovery of Russian engineer, and has been chris- tened Sleetover. It's strength is equal to that of pyroxyline, and has the immense ad- vantage of being ten times cheaper than or dlnary villainous saltpeter. Another great superiority which it possesses over all the known explosives of the dynamite class is that when fired it's force does not strike downward, but entirely in forward direc- t1on, so that it can be used for all the pur- poses of cannon and musket charges to which ordinary gunpowder is now applied, without any damage whatever to the weapon from which it is discharged
 There is good deal of Claw" in this coun- try. In the eight months from December 1, 1886, to August 1, 1887, the United States Supreme court and the highest appellate courts of all the States and Territories to- gether rendered s,325 decisions, in most of which opinions were written. The United States Supreme court rendered 266 of these and the New York Court of Appeals 264. This was about the average number, but some of the courts had far higher and some far lower record. Texas stands at the head of the list with 545 decisions Pennsyl- Tsnia follows with 505, and Iowa comes next with 405 to her credit. From those figures the amounts vary all the way down to 3 for Wyoming. That Rhode Island should only receive AS decisions from her highest courts, Nevada 20 and Arizona 10 does not seem so surprising as that little Delaware should have allowed her highest court to get off with only six decisions. In the United States Cir cult and District courts of the country 665 decisions were rendered in the same pe- rin1

The Venus Aceroupie.

[Richard Jeffries in the Magazine of Art.l Turning to the left on entering the Louvre
 found myself at once among the sculpture,
 which is on the ground feor. Except that
 Venus of Milo was in the collection, I had no knowledge of what was about to see,
 but stepped into an unknown world of statu-
 ary. Somewhat indiferently I glanced~up and then down, and instantly my coolness
 was succeeded by delight, for there in the
 center of the gallery was 8 statue in the
 sense in which understand the word-the
 beautiful made tangible in human form. It
 was then at least thirty yards distant, with the view partly broken, but it was impos- sible to doubt or question lines such as those. On gradual approach the limbs become more defined, and the torso grows and becomes more and more humau-this is one of the remarkable circumstances con- nected with the statue. There is life in the wide hips, chest and shoulders; so marvel ous is the illustration that not only the parts that remain appear animated, but the imagi- nation restores the missing and mutilated pieces, and the statue seems entire I did not see that the hand was missing and the arms gone; the idea of form suggested by the existing portions was carried on over these and filled the vacant places. Absorbed III the cOnCeInplaGlOu OI uor Doauty, uAo not for some time think of inquiring into material particulars. But there is tablet on the pedestal which tells all that is known. This statue is called the "Venus Accroupie," or Stopping Venus, and was found at Vienne, France. The term "Venus" is conventional, merely to indicate female of great beauty, for there is nothing in the figure to answer to what one usually understands as the at tributes of the goddess. It is simply wo- man stopping to take child pickaback, the childs little hand remaining upon the back
 just az it was placed, in the act of clinging. Both arms are missing and there appears to
 be some dispute as to the exact way they were bent across the body. The right arm
 looks as if it had passed partly under the left breast, the fingers resting on the left knee, which is raised; while the left arm was uplifted to maintain the balance. The shoulders are massive rather than broad, and do not overshadow the width of the hips. The right knee is rounded because it is bent; the left knee less so because raised. Bend ing the right knee has the effect of slightly widening the right thigh. The right knee is very noble, bold in it's slow curve, strong and haautifuI

The national encampment of the Union Veterans union proposes novel scheme of pensions. It is to add to each invalid pen sion one cent Month for each days service from muster to honorable discharge, any soldier discharged for disability to be enti' tied to pension for the full term of enlist" ment. This would involve an additional pension at the most of about $15 per month for those entitled to an invalid pension under existing laws, with a proportionately smaller addition for those serving less than three years or not discharged for disability, which is certainly much less indiscriminate than the service or dependent pension schemes.

ETIQUETTE or THE CIGARETTE.

There is n fashion even in so
small thing as the lighting of a
cigarette. In Cuba it is customary
among gentlemen for one to place
the cigarette between his lips, light
it, take few puffs and then hand
it to his friend. In Spain the same
fashion prevails. An Austrian is
very punctilious about the etiquette
of cigar lighting. lie lights his
cigarette first and then hands the
lighted match to his companion.
The idea is that it is more courteous
to allow a comrade the greater
length of time. If he is handed the
match first he naturally hurries in
order to hand it back again. \
Frenchman always hands his COM
panion the match first. An Eng
lishman proffers the cigarette to his
friend, lights match, hands it to
him, and then helps himself to an
other cigarette and match. An
American usually hands his friend
a lighted match and takes light
from his cigarette afterward,
The small boy gets light wher-
ever he can, generally from some
passer-by on the street. This habit
OF stopping men on the street for
light is looked upon.as ill-bred in all
countries. In no country is it toler-
ated to such an extent as in the
United States,-TN. Y. Mail and

MUD THROWING.

Inc "GazetIe THIS morning says
"It is pity to see the BULLETIN
being made catapult for throwing
mud at public men who have the
confidence of the whole community.
If he has reference to letter in our
issue Of yesterday signed "Curio-
sity," We fail to see the propriety
of the smile, as in that letter few
pertinent questions were asked in
regard to the source from which the
money came for the Sanitary eX-
petition, ostensibly in the in
terests Of the Board of Health, to
select a suitable place on the Island
of Kauai, for the establishment of
leper settlement. According to
their own report, aud from the testi-
mony of fpriyate individuals, the
place visited by the commission is
not at all adapted for the purpose,
and leaving all other considerations
out Of the question the cost of main
tanning another settlement of lepers
would be far in excess of the bene-
fits derived from such a settlement.
We now have well equipped and
and comfortable LazarettO for this
class of unfortunate beings, with
ample appropriations, if judiciously
used, for all requirements place
where segregation can be made al
most absolute, and with natural adj
vantages unsurpassed by any place
on the Islands for making it one of
the best Leper Hospitals in the world.
And with these consideration in
view, is it wonder that people
should ask where the money is COM
ing from to pay for such eXpedi-
tons that are of no practical benefit
to the country Or if such ques-
tons are asked through the columns
of a newspaper, should the pro-
Founders be accused of throwing
mud OH Government oflicialsi The
Gazette" as il is peculiarly stu
ated, may think this is mud throw
ing, as it does all investigations
into the doings of the present
government, but we contend that it
is the right Of the taxpayer to dis
cuss in the columns Of a newspaper,
or otherwise, the expenditure of the
government funds in useless eXpedi-
tons, to the end that the system that
obtained in former governments of
spending the peoples money in all
sorts of extravagances, and which
ultimately resulted in its overthrow,
shall cease, and in its stead, we shall
have an economic and judicious ex-
penditure of the public funds for no
other purpose than the public good.

ANOTHER BIG PROJECT FOR NEW YORK.

New York is emphatically a city
of big things. The latest project is
the new East-river Tunnel, which is
to run between Hunters Point and
Fourth avenue. Beginning at or
near Borden avenue and Hayward
street, in Long Island City, it is in
tended to follow Borden avenue to
the river and TO cross in q direct
line to about Thirty-fourth street.
Following Thirty fourth street
the tunnel will go to Fourth avenue,
whence branches will connect with
The Grand Central Railroad station
and the New York Central freight
depot at Thirtleth street and Ninth
avenue. A third branch may be
extended to the Hudson-river Tun-
mel. Electricity will furnish both
light and power, and ventilation will
be accomplished through numerous
air shafts by means of power fans.
Elevators will connect the surface
with stations under the Grand Gen.
trail station. Sixth avenue and
Thirty third street, Thirteenth
street and Ninth avenue, Thirty
fourth street at Third and Second
avenue, and Broadway and Thirty
third street, in New York, and Bor-
den avenue at Front and Vernon
streets in Long Island City. Such
a tunnel would establish connections
between the railroad systems of the
nation and the 400 miles now in
operation on Long Island.

tablishment OF o thoroughly Repub-
lican form Of government with tho
United States 50 prominently in the
foreground. Therefore it was
agreed that the King should be
shorn of most Of his power over leg
islation," &c. BY whom was this
agreement to shear the King made?
The inference is that it was an
agreement between the revolutionary
party and the foreign representa-.
tiyes mentioned, the absence of re-
ference to the American Minister
throughout suggesting that he was
party to the original scheme Of an
independent republic. This part of
the secret history of the revolution
has yet to be written. Doubtless
it will form interesting reading, and
Mr.. Wilder is to be thanked for sug-
costing it.
But there is logical inconsisten.
cy between Mr.. Wilder's position as
approving the Hawaiian Republic
scheme, and his reason for throwing
cold water on the American annexa-
ton scheme, which appears to many
unbiased people the natural and
only satisfactory solution of the pro-
blem. Quoting again from the in
teryiew:
could il be made Slater"
asked the interviewer.
81 should hardly think that would
be desirable" is Mr.. Wilder's re-
joinder, "because the natives would
hardly be capable of exercising the
right of suffrage; yet that is a mat
ter for further consideration"
Now, is it not the fact that the
natives have exercised, and do exer-
else, the right of suffrage? Mr..
Wilder has been elected noble by
the highest number of votes polled,
largely by kanaka votes with whom
he is fayorite. If they would
hardly be capable, as he says, of ex-
ercising the right of franchise under
American institutions, what happens
to qualify them for its exercise I'M
der the existing regime or an indie
pendent republic? Manifestly their
responsibility is greater while the
independence of their country re-
mains, than it would be as voters of
state or territory of the great
American Union. There are many
other points in the interview which
suggest comment but these will
suffice for the present.

should be carefully read by every
body having Gny interest in the
Islands. Whether it will form very
agreeable reading to the men in
power is quite another thing. But
MI. Wilder has played far too i'm
portant part in Hawaiian affairs
TO have his uttcrances ignored. He
throws considerable light upon the
revolutionary movement, and makes
statement from which it may be
inferred that the foreign representa-
tiVes had been consulted, step by
step, by the League up to the final
point. If this be true it places
these gentlemen in a rather embar-
RAISING position, accredited as they
were and are to King kalakaua by
their respective Governments. Mr..
Wilder is made to say: 'The plan
originally agreed upon was for the
entire overthrow of the Kalakaua
Government and the establishment
of q republic on almost identical
lines with that of the United States.
